Help for using Python to read and modify device configuration
Get help for reading and modifying the device configuration by accessing help for digidevice.config:
1. Select a device in Remote Manager that is configured to allow shell access to the admin user,
and click Actions > Open Console. Alternatively, log into the IX40 local command line as a user
with shell access.
Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection
menu. Type shell to access the device shell.
2. At the shell prompt, use the python command with no parameters to enter an interactive
Python session:
# python

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Use Python to respond to Digi Remote Manager SCI requests
The device_request Python module allows you to interact with Digi Remote Manager by using
Remote Manager's Server Command Interface (SCI), a web service that allows users to access
information and perform commands that relate to their devices.
Use Remote Manager's SCI interface to create SCI requests that are sent to your IX40 device, and use
the device_request module to send responses to those requests to Remote Manager.
See the Digi Remote Manager Programmers Guide
IX40 User Guide
Develop Python applications
for more information on SCI.
